Ravens Waive Former Vanderbilt Star Diego Pavia Before Training Camp
ESPN’s projection leaves the undrafted rookie battling for QB3 as Baltimore lists only Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley at quarterback.
- On Thursday, the Baltimore Ravens waived undrafted rookie quarterback Diego Pavia, releasing the 2025 Heisman Trophy runner-up before training camp begins Friday.
- Clearing a roster spot for veteran center Ethan Pocic prompted the move, as the Ravens signed him to a $4.5 million contract that would have exceeded the 90-man roster limit.
- Despite leading Vanderbilt to a 10-3 record with 3,539 passing yards in 2025, Pavia faced persistent scrutiny over his 5-foot-10 stature and perceived arm talent during the predraft process.
- Competition for the No. 3 quarterback role now narrows to Skylar Thompson and Joe Fagnano, while Pavia is free to sign with another NFL team.
- Now a free agent, Pavia must find a landing spot as the first Heisman finalist to go undrafted in 12 years, with training camps beginning over the next 10 days.
